A Common Sense Practical Guide to Divorce

The simple message of this book is that divorcing husbands and wives should not allowdivorce lawyers to send them off on a fool's errand that will take what is already a tragedyin their lives and turn it into a nightmare. That is when they are persuaded to employthe law as a weapon in a legal tug of war the object of which is simply to get as muchas you can and to give as little as you have to. Rather, they should look to the law as acommon framework that they can turn to in their effort to conclude an agreement andthereby get on with their lives. There is a name for this. It is called divorce mediation andit doesn't take forever or cost a king's ransom.
